The practice of hauling the snow away in the cities is extremely expensive and it is doubtful often if the expense is justified. The snow usually only lasts a few days and a little delay in traffic can be overcome, but the money spent in removing the snow is a total loss.

Bishop Alerding Sues Two South Bend Saloonkeepers.

A South Bend special says: Damages of SIO,OOO were demanded today by Bishop Herman J. Alerding, of Fort Wayne, in a conspiracy suit he filed in the circuit court against Frank Witueki and George Kajzer, both saloonkeepers.

The action is the result of recent trouble in St. Casimar’s Polish Catholic church, where Bishop Alerding is attempting to install Rev. Stanilaus Gruza as priest. Witueki and Kajzer are accused of conspiring against the bishop, in inciting the St. Casimer members to riot.

The complaint charges that they allow 7 ed members of the church to congregate in their saloons on Sunday, where schemes were hatched out to block the plans of the bishop.

Filipinos and the Ballot.

I do not wish to appear as an unfriendly critic of the performances of the American government in the Philippine Islands, says the Rt. Rev. Charles H. Brent, P. Bishop of the Philippines. lam not that. 1 recognize with thankfulness the lofty accomplishments which will be of enduring worth to the people. Uur scientific achievements have been of th 3 first order, and by virtue of what has been done in this department, a foundation for better health and sounder physique is being bequeathed to these psople. In education we have a record of which we need not be ashamed, and along line?* of material progress much has been done that will carry In its train beneficial results. But when I turn to the political progress I would be faithless to my American citizenship If 1 failed frankly to deplore the course we have chosen. The meagreness of the recent registration of voters prefatory to the legislative assembly was a surprise to the least sanguine among us. It showed even a smaller percentage than might justly have been anticipated from people with at least a glimmering of the meaning of self-government. The truth of it lb that we have bees going at a pace unsuited to the people. The ballot is the last, and not the first, gift of civilization, demanding a high measure dt understanding, its intelligent use is the most advanced act of political development. Let us progress by all means, but progress cannot be counterfeited, even thoush something bearing its name, but quite contradictory to its substance, parade In its clothing.

“Uncle Remus” Gives Thanks.

When a man passes a little beyond middle life, he is able to look at things with eyes that are, somewhat different from those he employed In his youth—at least thlß is so in my case. He is able to be thankful even for the small troubles and vexations that are sure to beset him; they give him something to think about; they give to his mind a broader and a finer per-

spective in its daily view of things. And this Is true of the real griefs and the deeper sorrows that overtake us now and again. If we are wise, we are thankful for the results that follow in their train. For myself, I have no great prosperity of my own—a thing I never wished for—l am thankful for the prosperity of my neighbors, and for the prosperity of the country at large. I am thankful that the public conscience has awakened from its deep sleep; that sectional feeling has been dissipated, end that the people of all portions of the country are trying to know one another more familiarly; that all my thoughts are cheerful, and that all my dreams are peaceful; that benevolence is tending to more practical results, and that charity Is more widespread. In short, for almost everything that happens, for I know' that .he remote results will be the uplifting of the spirits of men. I am somewhat old-fashioned, and I am thankful even for that, unimportant as ft Is.

Waterproof Asbestos.

According to a German publication a firm in Munich has succeeded in ar tlficially rendering asbestos waterproof, and has put upon the market this new kind of asbestos under the title oi asbestos slates, which are thus described: “These asbestos slates It 1b claimed are as hard and as strong aB the natural slates, and can therefore be laid on wall or roof constructions without any wooden lathg being necessary. They are very easily worked, and can be bored, aalled and cut just like wood, without any danger of splitting. They form a fireprbof covering for Inside and outside work of all kinds, evpn for electrical purposes; are of great use in building railway carriages as insulating material under the seats; for use in postal telegraphic work for insulating the switches and for covering Iron and wooden constructions; for use as fireproof doors for closing off single rooms in stores, warehouses, etc.; for lining wooden doors, and for covering walls and ceilings of all kinds so as to protect them frqm fire, heat, cold, dampness, disease, germs and vermin.”

Steel Cars.

The advantages whloh were presented by the advocates of the steel freight cars when they were first used In this country, have been well sustained by ten years’ experience with Increasing numbers of them. The wooden car Is shown to be more and more Inefficient with eaeh advancing year. The capacity Is low and good lumber Is scarce and high priced. The oost of repairs to ordinary wooden cor' cars Is nearly SIOO a year, and the time wooden cars are out of service undergoing repairs. Is abou« six times that of steel cars. The quality of the material In steel cars is nearly uniform, sad good material can be seoured by MNKBftodt test and Inspection. • . \ * ‘Y . J - ’ %l ’

Our public schools furnished ample entertainment for two full evenings last week. On Thursday evening at the opera house the grades gave an entertaining patriotic program of song, .drill, recitatioir and tableaux. The address of welcome was given by little Miss Lueile Washburn. The costuming in the drills and other numbers evidenced much painstaking preparation by the teachers, while their skill In training was made plain by the ease with which the little ones carried out their parts. The chorus work was excellent. On Saturday evening the high school gave a carnival of minstrelsy, drama and mystery. Stages were erected in two of the upper rooms. On one was given ‘‘the latest dramatization of Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” with a full chorus of colored singers. On the other a minstrel band gave a 40 minute program of song and joke. Three performances were given before crowded rooms. Much real talent was noticeable and underlying the jokes, and abandonment to fun was seen a strong school, doing their best, even if only fun, because each one was interested. Several policemen in the corridors made happy arrests, trundling their victims off to court in the patrol (a toy express). The hoax mysterious were there inviting the nickels and dimes, also candy and corn. Financially it was a success, and as dramatic art is ability to make - the part real, we are happy to have found so many artists in our school. The grief of “Cotton” Maxwell as Uncle Tom, seemed real. The irresponsibility of “Tops?" was pictured perfectly by Miss Helen O Riley.
